About This Performance

Gustavo Dudamel launches our comprehensive celebration of Tchaikovsky with the composer’s first and final utterances in symphonic form, from his Mendelssohn- and Russian folksong-influenced first to his heartrending last. “As a young boy, I discovered Tchaikovsky through great recordings and he has had a very special place in my heart ever since,” Dudamel says.
